FortiGuard-Antispam Service
FortiGuard-Antispam is an antispam system from Fortinet that includes an IP
address black list, a URL black list, and spam filtering tools. The IP address black
list contains IP addresses of email servers known to be used to generate spam.
The URL black list contains URLs of websites found in spam email.
FortiGuard-Antispam processes are completely automated and configured by
Fortinet. With constant monitoring and dynamic updates, FortiGuard-Antispam is
always current. Enable or disable FortiGuard-Antispam in firewall protection
profiles. For more information, see “Spam filtering options” on page 277.
Every FortiGate unit comes with a free 30-day FortiGuard-Antispam trial license.
FortiGuard-Antispam license management is performed by Fortinet servers; there
is no need to enter a license number. The FortiGate unit automatically contacts a
FortiGuard-Antispam Service Point when enabling FortiGuard-Antispam. To
renew the FortiGuard-Antispam license after the free trial, contact Fortinet
Technical Support.
Enable FortiGuard-Antispam globally in System > Maintenance >
FortiGuard Center and then configure the Spam Filtering options in each firewall
protection profile. See “Spam filtering options” on page 277.
FortiGuard-Web Service
FortiGuard-Web is a managed web filtering solution provided by Fortinet.
FortiGuard-Web sorts hundreds of millions of web pages into a wide range of
categories users can allow, block, or monitor. The FortiGate unit accesses the
nearest FortiGuard-Web Service Point to determine the category of a requested
web page then follows the firewall policy configured for that user or interface.
Every FortiGate unit comes with a free 30-day FortiGuard-Web Filter trial license.
FortiGuard license management is performed by Fortinet servers. There is no
need to enter a license number. The FortiGate unit automatically contacts a
FortiGuard Service Point when enabling FortiGuard category blocking. To renew a
FortiGuard license after the free trial, contact Fortinet Technical Support.
